About
At Geodesk, a value is only meaningful if it holds true in the field. Trust, responsibility, integrity, and protection: these four principles together guide every audit, every contract, and every emergency response we undertake in more than 150 countries.
Geodesk is an insurance broker specializing exclusively in international risks, with 30 years of expertise. Where standard policies stop at the borders of the European Union, Geodesk designs customized coverage for companies, NGOs, and institutions whose teams operate in more than 150 countries, including high-risk and war zones. This 100% international specialization addresses a need that has become a top priority: by 2024, the safety of employees traveling abroad had surpassed cost control as the top priority for international companies (Corporate Traveler & GBTA study).
Geodesk’s expertise is based as much on technical know-how as on interpersonal relationships. Each client is assigned a dedicated contact person who manages their case from the initial contact through to claims handling—no anonymous phone numbers involved. This personal touch makes all the difference in an emergency: when a suspected case of typhoid fever arose in Nepal, Geodesk’s teams responded in less than an hour because a contact person was already familiar with the insured’s situation. This expertise is also recognized beyond the circle of policyholders, through Geodesk’s contributions to the CDSE (Cercle des Directions de la Sécurité des Entreprises), an organization that has brought together security and safety directors from major French corporations since 1995.
Organized around the acronym TRIP
Trust is the foundation of every relationship Geodesk builds—with its policyholders as well as with its insurance and assistance partners. This trust is proven over time: several organizations, from the NGO GERES to the NGO AFRANE, which operates in Afghanistan, have been supported by Geodesk for four to eight years.
This liability reflects Geodesk’s commitment to each insured individual. It extends the duty of care that the Labor Code imposes on all employers—including for their employees on assignment (Article L4121-1)—and which Geodesk puts into practice through assistance available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Integrity guides every recommendation Geodesk makes, based on three principles: ethics, legal rigor, and transparency. No standard contract is offered by default; coverage is recommended only when it truly protects the insured and their teams.
Protection is at the heart of Geodesk’s business: providing coverage for people and operations where traditional insurance falls short. We carry out this mission in more than 150 countries, including high-risk areas and war zones.
Behind every Geodesk contract, a small team of specialists embodies the TRIP values in practice. Rather than relying on anonymous customer service, Geodesk assigns each organization a dedicated point of contact, selected based on the nature of the risk to be covered. This approach ensures that the person on the other end of the line is already familiar with the context of the assignment, the country in question, and the specifics of the contract.
The Geodesk team’s expertise is organized by field:
This specialization allows Geodesk to handle each situation with the level of expertise it requires, without ever referring the policyholder to a generic service desk.
