Praxis Investment Management, a faith-based investment manager and a company of Everence, has released its sixth annual impact report, the Real Impact Report 2025. The report, published on February 10, 2026, showcases the tangible outcomes of stewardship investing through facts, figures, stories, and examples. It also includes an excerpt from the firm's research on faith-based investing published earlier last year.
The report is organized around the seven distinct impact strategies of the Praxis ImpactX framework. These strategies include values and risk screening, proxy voting, sustainability integration, positive impact bonds, company engagement, advocacy and education, and community development investing. Praxis President Chad Horning, CFA, wrote in the introduction: 'More than ever, we think it's important to leverage as many impact strategies as possible. Our work in advocacy and education, corporate engagement and proxy voting help deliver change at a global level. At the same time, we touch specific communities through our impact bond and community investing strategies.'
Key highlights from the report reveal that Praxis screens excluded 3.8% to 23.4% of companies in its stock indices. In 2025, Praxis voted on nearly 18,000 shareholder proposals. The firm directly engaged over 20 companies on issues ranging from human rights and child labor to Creation care. Additionally, 35% of holdings in the diversified Praxis Impact Bond Fund were invested in socially or environmentally targeted impact bonds as of December 31, 2025. Through partnerships with Calvert Impact and Capital Impact Partners, Praxis invested more than $25.8 million in community development investing as of December 2025.
Mark Regier, Vice President of Stewardship Investing, noted: '2025 was a big year for Praxis—we launched our first two ETFs and published research that proved what we know to be true: that investors want to align their faith with their values. We thank everyone in the Praxis community for making real-world impact possible as we invest together.'
