What Business Channel One does for you
Since 2015, we have made innovation visible and credible through independent documentary evidence. We don’t offer marketing fluff; we provide independent, journalistic proof.
We are not an advertising agency. We are an Independent Editorial Environment, a secure, value-preserving archive where your impact is validated by documentary integrity. Our films serve as a hallmark of quality for ESG reporting, stakeholder management, employer branding, and grant dissemination.
Ready to have your innovation impact-validated?
The Business Channel One Mission
To provide ad-free, open-access documentary content that proves the integrity and scale of innovation, accelerating a new economy and combating climate change.
Our Three Pillars:
• Impact Validation: Journalistic evidence for your transformative initiatives.
• Independence: We determine what your stakeholders need to know, not just what they want to hear.
• Sustainability: CO2-neutral production, green and transparent.
CO₂-Neutral Production
At BC1®, environmentally friendly operations are not just an ambition; they are an operational principle. We produce as carbon-neutrally as possible: zero fossil fuels, exclusively electric transport, and solar energy. This reflects our core conviction: if we don’t lead by example, how can we expect to inspire others?

What Clients Say
Mark Spetter – Provincie Flevoland:
Tilly and her team at BC1 created a film for us, the province of Flevoland, on the circular economy: Circulair Flevoland 2030. From start to finish, Tilly and her team were highly involved and professional, helping us understand what we wanted and how to translate that into a film.
The 33-minute film premiered in a cinema in Almere, and everyone—including the businesses featured and the audience—was very enthusiastic. The film’s powerful visuals effectively showcased ongoing circular economy efforts in the province and a vision for 2030. It was also structured to be shared in parts, for use in events and education. BC1 also supported us with internal and external communications, targeted invitations, social media messaging, and strategy.
In short, BC1 exceeded our expectations, and we are very satisfied with both the content and the process.
Flevoland provides entrepreneurs with space to operate circularly

Hans Scholtze is one of the best filmmakers I know. Having worked with him for over 15 years, every collaboration has resulted in outstanding productions. Hans is an excellent cameraman and editor with up-to-date technical knowledge and a keen sense of visual language, making stories clear and beautifully captured. His ability to turn even complex issues into visually appealing and understandable narratives is remarkable. On top of that, working with Hans is always a pleasure.

I know Hans Scholtze as an expert director of highly professional films in many areas, with his knowledge of the energy transition standing out most positively.
