Tersus in Latin means clean, cleansed, pure, correct, nice, terse, spruce, and neat.
The Tersus Awards celebrate the people that make our world safe by embodying the definitions of Tersus, and making them real in our world. Throughout the pandemic every single industry has had to change significantly, adapt to new ways of doing business, and keep people safe. This didn’t happen overnight. In fact it took the work of millions all over the world to devise new sanitation protocols.
2020 made us all aware that health and safety are precious. As we await the completion of a global vaccination campaign, we also reminded of the many things that have helped keep us safe, healthy, and nourished. Among these are healthcare workers, retails workers, farmers, food manufacturers, and countless others.
The Tersus awards were envisioned prior to the pandemic, and yet perfectly suited as a means of recognizing the importance of hygiene, and those to make our world safer through it.
