Justice
Justice is the decentering actions we take, investing our time, money, and energy into facing discomfort, learning about communities and peoples different than each of us, to cultivate a tolerant, unbiased, and empathetic workplace and community.
Diversity
Diversity is the fundamental human attributes and experiences that make us each distinct and different among a group of people.
Equity
Equity is a commitment to justness; ensuring everyone is supported and has access to resources needed for success, recognizing each person’s experience and history might make those needs unique.
Belonging
Belonging is the feeling of affinity, ownership, and safety in community, place, and conversation when we proactively create space for every person to express their most authentic self. Belonging happens when we cultivate an introspective and open-door environment, where we celebrate our humanity and welcome our differences.

Land Acknowledgement
PIE’s Statement
Profitable Ideas Exchange acknowledges the historical context of the land we occupy. We live, work, and recreate on the unceded, traditional, ancestral land of more than five indigenous tribes—a widely known meeting and gathering place for Native people. We recognize the violence this land and its peoples endured and continue to endure. We celebrate that this land is still held in reverence. We acknowledge that this statement is a small part of the larger, ongoing work of fostering a true reconciliation in disrupting of the legacies of colonialism across Montana and the United States.
Find whose land you occupy here.
Our Action behind it
Each monthly company meeting, Packmates nominate one person to read our Land Acknowledgement as well as discuss actions around what they’ve done to learn more about Native communities in Montana and beyond.
