In the 1990's, the relocation sector grew quickly in France. In 1995, several companies with years of experience and an established reputation, decided to create the National Association of Relocation and Mobility Professionals (SNPRM = Syndicat National des Professionnels de la Relocation et de la Mobilité).
RELOCATION SERVICE is one of SNPRM's founding members.
The Union's goals are to:
- set up an ethic code for relocation professionals.
- increase membership with companies complying this code.
- promote the profession in private and public sectors, especially to the authorities.
- encourage and develop the profession.
Currently the SNPRM has accepted 26 members and about 15 associates, which comprise almost the entire French relocation sector.
Members of SNPRM gather on a regular basis to give members new insights and ideas. All topics related to relocation are discussed in meetings.

In the world, other associations with similar aims, were created as:
Confederation of British Industry - Employee Relocation Council

Association of Belgium Relocation Agents
