RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Faith Driven Consumer™ (FDC)—representing 41 million Americans who spend $2 trillion annually, has earned wide recognition for its groundbreaking 2016 Faith Equality Index (FEI), now scoring more than 360 major brands on compatibility with Faith Driven Consumers. The group has been profiled by leading media outlets covering both the FEI and its national #ChristmasBUYcott campaign, which is channeling $30 billion in spending toward the most faith-compatible brands.

Today, FDC is releasing new scores for national grocery and bulk retail chains.

"In the run up to Christmas, we have further accelerated our research efforts in response to high demand from the FDC community. Grocery and bulk retail chains are in especially high demand this time of year. And because our polling demonstrates FDCs will switch from their current brand to a more faith-compatible brand, this new information directly translates into higher sales for brands with better scores—affording them an edge in the race for Christmas consumer spending," said Chris Stone, Certified Brand Strategist and founder of Faith Driven Consumer. 

The Faith Equality Index annually rates, on a 100-point scale, how well brands acknowledge Faith Driven Consumers (FDCs) by welcoming, embracing, and celebrating them. A brand new FEI Mobile App is now available on the Apple and Android platforms to empower the FDC community to #ChristmasBUYcott on-the-go.
