The special ceremony recognised the aircraft manufacturer’s partners for their strong collaboration, excellence and ability to achieve the best results throughout 2022.
“I want to express my gratitude to all suppliers for their hard work and partnership. In 2022, we overcame many different challenges, and we were able to deliver most of our commitments, achieving very good results,” said Roberto Chaves, Senior Vice-President, Global Procurement at Embraer. “Transparency and collaboration were essential to our industry performance last year, and we need to be even more united to surpass expectations. By working together and collaboratively, we can generate more value for our businesses and entire society.”
According to Embraer, the company presented multiple initiatives to move the supply chain to the next level of collaboration by sharing insights and implementing new strategies and tools to improve efficiency and value creation. The company also launched the Embraer Suppliers Advisory Council to create a forum focused on experience exchanging and long-term strategy sharing that may help the ecosystem capture its full potential.
