Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'global' (worldwide) + 'empire' (an entity ruling or dominating many territories); together they naturally convey an organization or power with worldwide influence. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically accessible combination and a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended sense.
Etymology
The phrase global empire creates an image of an empire, a ruler's lands, stretching over the globe. So today global empire means a company or group that has 'control' or strong 'influence' all over the 'world'.
