IPARC has deliberately adopted a cooperative business model, in order to make the best use of the know-how and expertise of its partners and with a view to establishing a sustainable operational approach for the future. The restoration and conservation of works of art is a particularly intensive process in which not only knowledge and experience, a methodological framework and professional ethics are crucial; so too is the training of subsequent generations.

IPARC partners also bear in mind the long term and collective solidarity within the undertaking. The various artistic disciplines are each led in a responsible way by a partner with more than 10 years of relevant professional experience; decision-making within the cooperative is taken on the basis of equality. There is a particular emphasis, moreover, on openness, transparency, honesty and social responsibility.

ICM – IPARC INTEGRATED CONTAMINATION MANAGEMENT – Ecological solutions to decontaminate art objects
In museums and collections worldwide, there are two related and interlinked problems threatening art works and heritage objects for which ICM and IPARC are offering ecological solutions: infestation by insects and biocides residues. Insects can damage objects made of organic material to a point of complete destruction if undetected or if no action is taken. Most of biocides are now forbidden in Europe but for years substances such as Arsenic, Mercury, Naphthalene, PCP, DDT, Lindane have been widely used to fight insect and fungi attacks. Tens of millions of objects are contaminated and expose people who are in contact with them to severe illness.
