The Ethics of
Business Success:
You Can’t Separate
Values from Economics

 with J. Paul Stevenson 
CEO of Sego! Resources Inc. and
President, Vancouver Métis Community Association

What business values guide the mining industry as a whole?

When it comes to the ethics and business values of the resource-extraction industry, mining has a less-than-squeaky-clean image. Do some mining companies say one thing publicly, then do the opposite? How accountable are they to their shareholders? And are profits the sole motive for most executives in the industry? When a leader, who equates ethics with sound business sense, stands out, the results can change working relationships on many levels.

Join Métis mining CEO J. Paul Stevenson as he talks about how ethical considerations form the basis of any successful resource project. In his view, ethics lead to profits: you can’t have one without the other. He’ll also share tales from his more than four decades in the mining industry, from summers as a prospector and claim staker to full-time corporate leader.

About Our Speaker:

J. Paul Stevenson is CEO of Sego! Resources and has worked in mineral exploration since 1965. Former CEO of Gillian Mines and Pacific Booker Minerals, he is one of the few Métis CEOs in the mining industry. He was a member of the B.C. Premier’s Mining Initiatives Committee, which resulted in the Mining Rights Amendment Act. He actively helps mining companies open dialogues with First Nations groups, and agreements between his companies (such as Sego! Resources) and the Upper Similkameen Indian Band are considered models for the industry. J. Paul has been profiled in numerous media including The Wall Street Journal, and has been published in The Globe and Mail.

As a successful prospector and claim staker, J. Paul Stevenson moved to Vancouver in 1979, where he now serves as President of the Vancouver Métis Community Association. Previously, he worked as a trapper in the Germansen Lake region (193 km north of Fort St. James) and did mineral exploration in the summers. After his formal education at Seminary of Christ the King in Westminster Abbey in Mission B.C., J. Paul was accepted as a novice in the Oblates of Mary Immaculate Missionary Order. He left the order in 1967 to join the anti-war movement and to pursue vigorously causes of social justice.
