Praxis Investment Management Recognized as 2025 Faith-Based Organization of the Year by Environmental Finance

Praxis Investment Management, a company of Everence and a leading faith-based investment manager, was named the global 2025 Faith-Based Organization of the Year by Environmental Finance in its IMPACT Award program. This recognition follows the launch of Praxis Investment Management's two ETFs—Praxis Impact Large Cap Value (PRXV) and Praxis Impact Large Cap Growth (PRXG)—and the release of research titled "Faith-based investing: The conversation clients seek, the value advisors can add." Mark Regier, Vice President of Stewardship Investing, stated that the award recognizes in part their 2025 research which revealed gaps in awareness and disconnects in communications between investors and advisors. Regier emphasized that faith-based investing is about fostering purpose as much as performance, and expressed honor in being recognized for work helping advisors meet the growing demand for this strategy from clients.

Environmental Finance's annual IMPACT Awards recognize the work of impact investors everywhere and highlight best practices across all asset classes and geographies. Winners were selected by an advisory panel consisting of industry experts made up of investors, pension fund managers and insurers, along with the Environmental Finance editorial team. Benjamin Bailey, Vice President of Investments, noted pride in continuing to pioneer ways for clients to put their faith in action while pursuing competitive returns, expressing deep gratitude for the trust investors and advisors have placed in Praxis.

Environmental Finance previously named Praxis its 2020 Faith-Based Organization of the Year and 2023 Faith-Based Organization of the Year, making this the third such recognition for the firm. The award underscores the growing significance of faith-based investing within the broader impact investment landscape, where investors seek alignment between financial goals and personal values. The research released by Praxis indicates increasing client demand for investment strategies that reflect religious or ethical convictions, while also identifying communication challenges that advisors must navigate when discussing these options. The launch of the PRXV and PRXG ETFs represents a strategic expansion of Praxis's product offerings, providing more targeted vehicles for investors seeking large-cap value and growth opportunities within a faith-based framework.

The recognition comes at a time when faith-based investing is gaining prominence as a subset of sustainable and impact investing, appealing to investors who want their portfolios to reflect their religious beliefs alongside financial objectives. Praxis's approach combines traditional investment analysis with screening criteria based on religious values, addressing what the firm identifies as a gap in how advisors communicate these options to clients. The IMPACT Awards selection process involves rigorous evaluation by industry professionals, lending credibility to Praxis's achievements in this specialized field. As faith-based investing continues to evolve, awards like this highlight organizations that are developing innovative approaches to meet investor demand while maintaining competitive financial performance.
