She will lead the new Climate Action Programme, which will start to roll out from November.
Ms Hardy has over 14 years’ experience in industry and academia, most recently as a research technician at the University of Leeds.
Much of her work has focused on making advances in textile materials that benefit and meet the needs of micro-businesses, SMEs, global manufacturers, end users and the environment.
Among her other roles, Verity worked for Shirley Technologies, as UK manager for the ECO PASSPORT, MySTeP and MADE IN GREEN OEKO-TEK textile certifications.
She said: “I am thrilled to join such a well-respected organisation, working alongside textile industry and sustainability experts. I am looking forward to assisting EOG members and the wider outdoor industry on their journey towards addressing climate change.”
